XG – PUPPET SHOW
Another very good single / MV for XG, AND the album at last. With a frustration: X-GENE should be 10 min long. :p
For the record, the lyrics / MV message goes way deeper than some hurt little boys thought…
The song especially the lyrics and the MV have many symbolisms about society. The teeth’s have a very significant one as well. In Japanese culture, the reason why Amy’s teeth is black/red implies to the word Ohaguro. It simply means to blacken the teeth. It’s an old custom prevalent centuries ago among most married Japanese women, members of the aristocratic class, and samurai. It was considered a status symbol to have blackened teeth. The traditional method used involved soaking iron fillings in tea or sake. Jurin’s symbolism is the sharpness of her message. You have to listen to her.
